Paul's review of Schott's Original Miscellany
Schott's Original Miscellany by Ben Schott
A less cultured man might refer to this as excellent bathroom reading... and, oh hell, well that it is: But that and so, so much more. From a collection of Euclidian Axioms and Postulates to a list of Academy Award Winners (up until 2002, when it was published); From a listing of the rules and weight classes in Sumo Wrestling to a run down of all the famous people on the cover of The Beatles Sgt. Pepper album, this pocket sized hardback with it's own elegant little red silk bookmark attached to the spine makes a great gift for the terminally nerdy on your list or simply the perfect thing to put on the coffee table when the bong comes out. A book you will read and re-read - most likely, every time you use the bathroom.
